This past Thursday, students of the famous Parsons School of Fashion debuted 40 professionally selected looks at the tenth annual AAS Line Debut. Fashion icons such as Betsey Johnson were also present on the terrace atop Lord & Taylor in midtown NYC to present achievement awards to both alumni and graduating students. Johnson presented the first ever AAS Icon award to Fern Mallis, senior Vice President, recognizing her groundbreaking achievements in the fashion industry, among them creating and organizing what is now known as “Fashion Week” in New York City, her work with various charities including Fashion Targets Breast Cancer and 7th on Sale, and her undying support of emerging fashion designers.

I love Fern Mallis! I’m glad she won this award – she’s so important to the fashion industry, plus she has amazing taste =) And she’s fun to watch on Bravo’s The Fashion Show!
